We also are requiring safety plans from our tenants and encouraging them to have workplace/employee safety protocols in place prior to reopening.
Our guests also play a key role in keeping people safe and healthy by adhering to social distancing requirements, washing their hands frequently, wearing a mask and, most importantly, staying home if they are sick.
